LIVE BLOG: Chizik presser
Welcome to Gene Chizik's weekly presser.

- Opening statement: "We're going to have to play a much better football ... to beat a ver, very good West Virginia team. This will get us another step in the direction of finding out how good we are."
- What do they have to work on?: "Special teams. We're putting ourselves 80 yards away on every kickoff return. That's glaring. Our punt-return issues -- those are glaring. Our coverage teams ... we're giving up too many hidden yards. We've got to measure every inch. Offensively and defensively, just the things you see."
- On the offense: ``We didn't know what to expect. We still don't know what to expect. We've only played two games."
- On complacency: ``I don't think that's who we're going to let them be ... and that's not who they really are. I don't know how a player could walk out (of a meeting) and feel good about it."
- On replacing Tommy Trott: "Tommy is day by day. We've got a plan." He also plans to give Lutzenkirchen a bigger role. Chizik also mentioned Gabe McKenzie.
- On fans who (allegedly) are penciling in Auburn as the Western Division champions: "They are? I didn't know they were." Goes on predictable rant about how Auburn fans are the greatest ever.
- On having four home games top open the season: ``It's a building block every week with a better team -- or a team that gives you different issues." He praised West Virginia for its speed.
- ``We're a work in progress. I'm not sure what we are yet."
- On Noel Devine: ``He's exactly what you look at -- you tackle him a few times, then the next thing you know he's hitting his head on the goal post."
- He says West Virginia is a good "run-fitting" team. Also praises the team's speed again. Chizik says it's a 3-4 deal.
- He loves the West Virginia quarterback. ``He brings a lot to the table for them."
- On if Auburn is an under-the-radar team: ``I don't know. We just do what we do."
- ``I think we're ready to play this type of game right now. Had we opened with them, I don't know if I had said that."
- On Ted Roof addressing Auburn's offense earlier this week: "It all ties in. Everybody's connected. For us to call a game defensively and feel like the offense can get us out of binds periodically -- that's very important. And you can flip it. It's a comforting feeling."
- On how the defense benefits from working against Malzahn's offense: ``It helps a lot. Our guys have been, for the most part, have been pretty good about being able to stand out there and survive -- considering how few backups we have."
- He likes the offensive line: ``When you rush for 390 yards, it's not all tailbacks. They have not arrived, but I think they're getting better. They're playing together. That's what I'm excited about."
- On Kodi Burns: ``He's an Auburn man. That's what he is. That's what we does. That's what we've been saying since Day One."
- That's a WRAP.

faster than Ziemba before the whistle!
FAH, indeed!
sweet, another presser with nothing said. Can't wait.
I keeping waiting for the Chiz to make a controversial statement. My guess is I will be disappointed. The guy could go all pro in coach speak.
But I do appreciate the coverage.
Is there any truth to the rumor that Malzahn will definitely be here at least 3 years?
Or that ewoks have cankles?
Maybe I can provide some highlights before the press conference.
Player X is day to day.
We aren't where we need to be.
We are looking at are options there.
J-z, other than a 3 year contract, that is only tie I see for him being here that long. I would be shocked if he continues this type sucess and stays more than 2 years max.
No more "inside sources". I'm going to miss that.
j-z, I would take the under on Malzahn being here three years, although he has a three year contract. I don't think he leaves after this season unless we do great things, but a successful 2010 season would likely see him in a HC position somewhere.
His name is Robert Paulson....or something like that.
Steve, I think you're right on with your Malzahn prediction.
No $h^t. Sorry. Kind of a ding dong the witch is dead moment there. Just slap me and call me the Mayor of Munchkin Land.
THIS QUOTE IS FANTASTIC: "I don't think that's who we're going to let them be ... and that's not who they really are. I don't know how a player could walk out (of a meeting) and feel good about it."
:)
Steve- I see you forced a question to Chiz which he responded by praising Auburn fans.
I have an idea, which I'm SURE has been covered here already, but I missed it if it has...
JGT, next time Chizik stands there and says that player X is "day to day", just stand up, throw a shoe at him, and say "YOU LIE!"
Maybe then we can have something controversial to discuss.
Lowcountry- You forgot to then immediately ask for donations afterwards.
I also love this quote: "then the next thing you know he's hitting his head on the goal post."
Sure as heck happened a few times last year - I think our LBs and DBs are going to be challenged this Saturday more than they have to date.
Chizik prior to the Bama game....
"We've only played 11 games. We don't know anything about our team yet."
Was that a rant or a rave on us Auburn fans?????????????
Eddie, thanks for the reminder... South Carolina Ethics Commisssion rules prohibit contributions in excess of $1000 per individual per candidate per election cycle.
Can I count on your support of $1000?
We just do what we do
Missinit ... typical chatter about how Auburn fans are so much more awesome than fans of all other teams in all sports at any time in the history of athletics.
DWWD!!!
re: AU Fans...
at least he's honest! ;-)
If we somehow win 9 or 10 games, I don't see Gus not getting some interviews for HC jobs.
And of course he would be right..we are the greatest of fans..(wink, wink!)
Jay G, surely you agree with him, maybe not all fans, but surely the Hotties qualify?
Anything is better than the "well we're going to have to pass the ball here in the 2nd half" Tuberville line at half time of every game the past two years only to run 30 times and pass it 4.
Hopefully we also won't get 10 straight years of "well we're a young team".
My take is Malzahn stays For At Least his 3 year contract. He will not take the first HC job offered - see Chiz for that mistake. The reason I say at least 3 is that is what I think it will take AU to get an SEC title. With that on his resume, he can negotiate a better gig than an Iowa State.
Just my .02.
Chizik can make anyone look like nostradumbass. His comments are very predictable.
WERK, my personal favorite: "well we're just tryin to do too much on offense. we're goin to come back out in the second half, simplify and play Auburn football."
I turned on CSS at 11:30 hoping to see Chizik and follow along.
In stead I get Kiffin presser which I immediately turned off, Don't know it it was live or not.
One of my goals for this season was to never hear a coach say we need to simplify the offense. Last season was a primse example. I think our offense against Alabama was drawn up on a napkin, and they didn't bother to write on the back.
Digger, they stagger the press conferences so that they don't overlap. You must have caught a replay of his.
We played offense against Alabama last year?
Oh, you meant we played offensive against Alabama.
who asked this stupid ass question?
On fans who (allegedly) are penciling in Auburn as the Western Division champions: "They are? I didn't know they were." Goes on predictable rant about how Auburn fans are the greatest ever.
RK that's what I thought. Just thought I would take a look.
Kodi is Auburn through and through and may be the gooey stuff that has mad this team GEL.
"made" you know what I mean
Watch for the Banhammer Daniel, I think JGT asked that question...
Digger,
Either that or Kiffin just hasn't shut up from his earlier start time.
Mindbomb had an article saying that Auburn fans should hold off buying ticket to the SECCG. I don't see us with those kind of expectations. I do think we have a very good shot at nine wins this season. If we lose Saturday, that number drops to seven.
Now there is an awful thought but could be very true
Daniel: Some TV guy.
FBomb must take his callers seriously. Surely Not, must just be another dig at Auburn
Bernakie is saying the recession is technically over, which is good news for those out of work. Don't look for the job numbers to look great the rest of the year, but things should improve in terms of jobs during the first half of 2010.
Anything controversial a CFB coach says will eventually be construed in a negative light.
Why would any fans wish for their coach to do anything other than coach speak? Temporary selfish enjoyment at the expense of the team?....nice!
TV guys ask dumb questions? A revelation.
Isn't Lou Holtz a TV guy? I'm pretty sure Andre Ware is a TV guy. There's no way TV guys ask dumb questions.
Steve..the real estate depression will continue for several years. The commercial foreclosures are just now starting. Much of the liquid investor money is tied up in Texas and Bush's Boyz are waiting to make sure real estate has hit rock bottom before jumping in. That will continue to be a drag on the economy for years...see 1970's.
IF......I'm watching ESPN....I mute Holtz.....keeps the inside of my screen clean.

No more "inside sources". I'm going to miss that.
I don't like smart ass bullies.
I expect to see gradual growth in the economy. You always have a period after a recession where companies are hesitant to hire, but I think we are over the panic caused by the elections. Walstreet didn't like Obama or McCain for good reason. Bush wasn't exactly winning them over with his spending either. Things should improve, but it will be gradual. I am investing in the overseas markets more these days.
Daniel: Some TV guy.
I don't see anybody with those expectations and whoever asked that question was disingenuous at best.
That's like going to a Bama presser and asking Saban what it's like to know that the very people worshiping him right now, will hate his guts within three years. Except one is true, one isn't.
I don't think that's who we're going to let them be ... and that's not who they really are.
I think Coach Chizik may have gotten Feng'd
Maybe Chizik is Feng?
And you know this how Daniel?
You know my expectations for our offense have already been met. Those were to have the team come out and actually look like they knew what they were doing. It appears this coaching staff knows very well how to instruct, so I think they will be just fine. Is that SEC west champs? Ya never know until it's official, I'm not going to plan on it, but if everything goes right, there's no reason they couldn't be in Atlanta in December
Chizik=Feng ?!?! That would explain some things wouldn't it. Like that whole Iowa State thing.
Live Blogger Tate - I enjoyed the CGC report very much. Thank you!
I wonder if WVU first team is any speedier than OUR first team offense. I imagine if you've seen the speed it won't take you by surprise at the beginning of the game like it would most. I have a feeling they have not seen a tempo like our offense runs, which may be tough to replicate in a week, unless they've been actually trying to work on it since Fall camp started. But I don't think they would put that much credence into Mahlzahn's system.
FSJ said...
And you know this how Daniel?
You right I making a huge leap of faith here.
1.Name the last ex coach bama fans don't hate? I bet you have to go through about 16 years to get to him, and that is thin ice since he called out Saban.
2.Name the last job Saban lasted at more than 5 years?
3.Name the last place he worked at that still like him?
seems like a tall task to dig through all the fluff that Chizik talks
I prefer The Rolling Stones to The Beatles.
Needed to get that off my chest.
Sensi,
For the most part, I agree. I'm a big fan of both bands, but the Stones had an edge that the Beatles didn't have. The Beatles were more influential and more experimental, but the Stones just flat out rock...well except for that mid/late 70's attempt at a disco sound.
I happen to love smart-assed bullies.
It's better than passive-aggressive whiners.
Aubie, who's a smartass bully?
I like it when people cuss me out on the phone.
So professional.
The inches we need are all around us. This team, we fight for that inch! Because in the end we know that when you add up all those inches it can mean the difference between winning and losing.
I feel like doing a Man vs. Food Challenge
Sensi, my favorite thing to do is interrupt someone who is cussing me on the phone and tell them they're breaking up...it just throws fuel on the fire.
Sensi,
I feel for you. I hate being on the phone anyway, much less with upset people at work.
I think Aubie was throwing a job on Monica's behalf to Jay G...but I could have been reading too much into it.
I like how Chizik is attempting to temper expectations, and for good reason. It isn't hard to find mistakes that we are making. Cautious optimism is appropriate, although unrealistic optimism has worked very well for me so far.
I advise to not speculate on the Mon situation. Just let it pass.
Sensi, if it's so much fun, give us your number and we can help replicate that for you the rest of the afternoon.
:) i keed my friend.
Indeed.
Just an irate person who got passed around the phone tree at the u.
It happens.
I've been cursed out before and probably will be again.
Just giving my opinion, it may be wrong.
It's just a blog. The best one out there, but in the big picture, it's just a blog.
Sensi ...
You $#%*$#%*#$*%-#$%*%$*%$#* moron. You've got @#%$$##@$ in your @#%#$#@$@# #$%$#@#&*$#!
There. You were right.
I've even been cursed out by people from HABOTN.
And now Jet.
I wear that like a badge of honor...or the scarlett letter.
Sensi- What the #$%#$#$$ man, I told you to go #$#%%#%#$%#%.
no way Monica's not lurking to see the response she'll be getting the next couple of days. She likes the attention too much. :-P
"I can't quit you" hahahahahaha....
Just kidding around, Aubie. Don't hate. Appreciate.
Man, I didn't know we were allowed to cuss hotties out. I am gonna have to practice.
What a fine line there is between #$%#$%# and dflgjdf
Finer than the silk robes of Egypt
You are impressive THT
Or the thighmasters of Eurasia
When posting here consider that this is more than a blog to Jay G, it is tied in with his job. That is what feeds his family. I consider him to be pretty tolerant and haven't seen him quick to banhammer anyone. Just keep in mind that when something is tied to you earning a living for your family, it is a bit different than just being a blogger.
I'm also getting restless with not being able to make my weekly picks.

JGT said, "I happen to love smart-assed bullies.
It's better than passive-aggressive whiners."
well, if you didn't like me before, you sure don't now!
In keeping with the idea of cussing folks out, but since I try to refrain from that actual practice whenever possible, in Michael's absence I'll say - you people are all a bunch of idiots.
I don't really feel better about having done that, it just seems somewhat appropriate. I don't really think you're ALL a bunch of idiots. I'm pretty selective there.
Keep Hate Alive.
It's just a place to have fun, it's not meant to be serious or for people to get upset over.
That being said, everyone needs to call Eddie & Sensi's show tonight and cuss out Sensi.
Did I miss something? Who is upset?
Harumph Norm
(646) 649-1890 between 8-9pm CST. Call and give it to the $#@#$%head Sensi.
i'm an idiot just trying to find my way thru life, one pit stop at a time.
Here - we can start the hate early.
My pick for Auburn - West Virginia. Purely speculation from my point of view. I cite no sources.
The Tigers offensive resurgence has generated plenty of excitement on the Plains. The first real test of the season comes in the form of West Virginia, a team that has found a solid passing game to go with the run in spite of replacing four offensive linemen and do-everything quarterback Pat White. The Tigers defense is a good starting group, but lack of depth and experience could come back to haunt them in a shoot-out. This one will more than likely turn into a score-fest as both offenses will find ways to exploit the defenses. Give the edge to West Virginia with more proven wide receivers and special teams performers. West Virginia 35, Auburn 31
WHAT THE ****??????????!!!!!!!!!!
Just a gut feeling. I've thought all along we wouldn't go through September unscathed.
Once again, the Number for revenge on Sensi is (646) 649-1890 between 8-9pm CST. He doesn't think you have the guts to call.
maybe I really will call and cuss out sensi with a prediction like that.
Im not upset. Thats a promise.
See, Jay G isn't hacked at my pick.
It's just a guess.
I hope I AM WAAAAAY WRONG.
I am now confused about my standing here. I am a passive-aggresive smartass.
I think you're good, D.
do you guys use the beepy machine for the kids, or just let it ride raw in its natural state?
Sensi- Holtz called and wants his lucky coin back that he uses for predictions.
Eddie,
I used one of my Chizik Iowa State nickels.
Peter- It involves me screaming BLEEP at the same time the words gets said, i'm usually late for some reason :)
Sensi,
Predictions like that won't keep you from getting cussed out.
Like I said, maybe I'm wrong and I hope that I'm not, but a team that gives up chunks of yards to Liberty and ECU and doesn't really put either team away starting a very very inexperienced OL on the road with a QB who has never started on the road doesn't scare me like it does others.
I hope I'm not mistaken, it won't be a walk in the park, but I don't think WVU is the team some seem to think they are.
Sensi seems to undercut us with his predictions each week, so I'm comfortable with his prediction.
Opening statement, a very is missing it's y.
# On Kodi Burns: ``He's an Auburn man. That's what he is. That's what we does. <..>
Sincerely
A*@l retentivonaut.
RK- If you want the real score, tune in the show for my prediction where I have proof of closely predicting the 1st two contests while Sensi just gets further and further away from what actually happens.
Sensi, you are a traitor and evil for picking West Virginia. Oh, one other thing. You could also be right. If our defensive line doesn't get a lot of pressure on their QB while preventing runs, it could get tough.
In some ways our offense resembles what West Virginia use to have, a running spread that passed second. They are trying to get more balanced. So far, it looks like they are, but we will have to see.
I see it being a bit of a shootout for sure. I was listening to the ESPN Radio's College Gameday while on the road Saturday. Kiper was talking about WV's QB being a possible second rounder. Couple that with Devine and I see lots of points on Saturday, though I expect Auburn to still come through.
If you are using me as a guide, you need real help.
That'd be like asking Jay G. for advice on how to fix your Volvo.
I just put stuff out there, ya'll. I have a feeling we drop on in Sept. and this one is most likely.
If we win it, I'll sing a hymn on the podcast next week.
See, Eddie's brother thinks I'm at least half right.
SteveFC is a complex man.
By the way, I have mentioned that we have a show tonight, now on Tuesday's from now on, follow the linky:
AFIP Where we take Shots and cuss out Sensi
Some of your probably read where Roof said that Fairley graded out well in terms of performance, but poorly in terms of missed assignments. That could be an issue here. The linemen won't be able to just pin their ears back against WV. Gap responsibility will be a key.
I'm telling y'all it's 56-34, Tigers on top!!!
Now if we win Sensi is threatening to sing.
I'm torn as to if I want us to win or not.
Sensi ...
Little do you know that the "G" and Jay G. Tate stands for "Grease Monkey of Volvos and other Swedish Automobiles."
If we lose one in September, this one will be it. Ball State is going to get toasted.
If he sings and it sounds terrible, i'll cut him off and do the show without him.
Jock Sanders was their WR that seemed to be open on every play last year, he's back as well. So they have the skill guys to give us fits, but I think we can get to the QB and shake up their O more than they are used to.
My concern is that our linebackers get worn down. I could see us playing a lot of nickle in this game.
What do you know about Jay G's volvo repair skilllz. Just cause he drives a maxima doesn't actually mean he's a mother of two.
Damn, Sensi makes a post about Auburn Losing and everyone starts thinking of where we have problems.....
:)
Speaking of Volvo's, what ever happened to the band Everclear?
The only problem I want us to have is our kickers legs sore from kicking off so much.
SFC, if we score 56 points i'll grab my sister's couches and set those bad boys on fire at Toomer's! and i dare Jet to try and stop me!
Scottie ...
If we score 56 and win, I'll burn your sister's couches.
RK, I'm pretty sure the the lead singer ran out of peroxide for his hair and that was that.
sweet, it's a date then.
I thought they said Jock Sanders was injured?
More than that, I'll burn WTC's daughter's couch in Auburn.
I understand he's not happy with one his daughter has and may be looking to upgrade.
What better way to expedite the process than winning on Saturday night and giving our fellow HOTTIE a hand.
I'll find Tim Couch and burn him.
even better.
RK, if you can find him, i'm sure many Browns fans would help you out.
Eddie, we do have problems, although we they are much fewer than last season.
I am not certain of how good West Virginia's defense will be. It is entirely possible we win a shootout.
Let's burn Tim!
I was mistaken, its Scooter that's hurt not Jock.
He's a witch!!!
What about Skippy and Bubba Joe Bob?
Steve- Let's just see that we will have our hands full in certain areas. I'm doing my research and will have a prediction tonight on the show.
Burn baby burn
Keep in mind that this is far from the most important game of the season. I considered the most important LaTech. Arkansas comes second. Tennessee is third. Beat Arkansas and Tennessee and we have a decent season.
Apropos of nothing ...
Did you folks notice the Hunchback of Mississippi State this weekend? Dan Mullen's a got a little of a humpback.
Does that make him a quasi-Quasimodo?
Let's Burn Tuscaloosa!!!!!
Evience of my guitar playing and background singing
I like the way you think, Eduardo. I'm gonna keep my eye on you.
There must be just a whole bunch of testostrones in the blog today with all the burning and cursing and things goin on.
Jet, i thought about Mullen 'The Hunchback' when i was watching it again on Sunday nite. hilarious.
Hey, I still HATE ME SOME UAT
Jet, don't burn WTC's daughter's couch unless WTC is going to upgrade it. Otherwise, my sister might nit have anywhere to sleep.
Well Sensi your singing and playing must be pretty rough - you've been firewalled at my office.
Well let's take all the couches and Tim Couch to Tuscaloosa after the game and burn it down.
Yeah, same here ... The IT Gong Show took out Sensi.
That nit was supposed to be a not.
Would we have to set foot in Tuscaloosa? I try not to if I can help it.
Dang ole firewalls
Well I got tricked and played Sensi's link and my speakers no longer work.
Well we can helicopter Tim and the couches over Tuscaloosa, light them on fire and drop them and get out of town.
Not the first speakers I've killed Eddie.
Just like Marty McFly
Quit being such a not-picker
Why not just bomb Tuscaloosa with flaming bags of pooh? Hey, it could actually be an improvement.
just like the WKRP turkey drop
RK- You better get away quickly, that cardboard place will be lit up like the 4th of july at a trailer park
Onterrio McCalebb - how do you say his last name.
Long a or short a?
As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
Hahaha, all someone has to do is mentioned the WKRP turkey drop and I laugh. Geeze, that episode was funny.
I'm not sure who started publically declaring hate to bama, but I know I bring it honestly.
Or let's enlist Michael's help and drop coolers of poop with parachutes. The Cousin Humpers will see scores of Little Playmates descending from above and think it's manna.
Imagine their surprise when the open it and it isn't Milwaukee's Best, but Michael's Worst.
I go with the long a.
The "Turkey's Away" episode is great.
All I know is that his "a" is fast.
I said it Monday morning and I'll say again it Sat. morning. 38-35 last team to score....wins. The defenses will be gassed by the 4th qtr.
anybody got a link to Finebaum that is NOT windows media player?
I'm working for a Mac today.
hoopie- Do we play a lot of nickel defense :)!!!!
Sensi,
Flip4Mac. Free open source software that converts WMA to play in QT.
Thanks, Pete!
Does anyone know when this week's games for HABOTN Pickers will be posted? Sorry if this has already been asked. I haven't had a chance to catch up on posts today.
I've been asking all week ScottChoc, evidently it happens when it happens. Yahoo has their big grimey paws all over it, trying to make sure we can't pick at our offices.
Anyone familiar with the B-ham area, where is a good place to stay near the BJCC that won't cost me an arm and a leg?
i'm sure Legion Field has plenty of room.
Scottie,
Why must you cuss me like that?
Staying near the the BJCC ... I'd worry about my spleen and colon, too.
Sensi is a bammer.
I love my daughters sofa. It is made with gold thread.
I predict the team with the most points at the end of the game will win.
Scotty and Tommy,
yahoo usually has the games up on Tuesday (today), but for some reason is dragging a bit.
WTC,
You are the third person that has called me that this week.
Welcome to the club.
Thanks, MTD. I actually have barely had a chance to read the HABOTN since the middle of last week. Today I am procrastinating on sending out some shipments, but I think the procrastination period is about to have to end. I also hadn't had a chance to check my NFL fantasy league results until now. Let me just say I'm happy with Drew Brees as my QB!
sorry RK, that was a bit low. sadly it was an immediate thought on my part. my bad yo.
sniff sniff
199.
200.
I'll get out and help push.
